Hello!!!! I'm really sorry that this chapter had to take so long, but I actually didn't want to write this chapter. It's boring. And I had a new Stargate Season, so I have been watching that a little bit too much. (I'm having weird dreams, so yeah, I watched it too much... but I don't care!!)

Anyway, I hope you will enjoy this new chapter!!! It's a long one, but I made it less boring than with Black and White Rose. At least, I hope.. haha XD

Chapter 7
Moving in

--

Yugi couldn't stop staring out of the car. Ailhak's car was small and bright yellow and they were off to the mall. Ailhak had had some comments on Yugi having no other clothes than the ones he wore now. And the teenager had no other possessions as well. Ailhak knew why, as did Yugi, but neither of them told the other that they knew why Yugi had no other things than his love for Yami and this pair of clothes.

"We're here", Ailhak suddenly said and Yugi looked at her. He had seen so many beautiful things. He had seen a giant park and he really wanted to go there. They had already been to his new school and they had signed him in. He had seen so many people, walking or driving, and he was really intrigued by them. Sure, he was used to other people, but this was new. This was different, at least, that's how he felt.

He went into the mall with Ailhak, she dragging him because he wouldn't follow. And she was afraid he would get lost in the giant building. She dragged him over to the clothes-section and there they fit on new clothes, for even Ailhak admitted to herself she needed something new. They went home, packed with new clothes for both Yugi and Ailhak. And some thing in the house. Yugi hadn't seen Ailhak's home yet, but when he did, he was thrilled.

"It's beautiful!", Yugi exclaimed as he got out of the car. He was now pretty used to the thing of metal. In Heaven they hadn't had one of these, but they were very useful. Ailhak opened the wooden brown door. Her whole house was made of wood, in a perfect off-white colour. The wooden door was somewhat darker than the rest of the house. Inside, it was decorated with several stuff, especially around the fireplace. The kitchen was separated from the livingroom by a small wall, which was decorated with small pieces of coloured glass.

Upstairs was Yugi's room, not far from Ailhak's. Ailhak looked around the dusty room, she hadn't been here in a while. Only to place stuff away, but now, they had a lot of clean-up to do. She opened the window, while Yugi put everything in boxes, which was not. Together they placed the boxes upon the closet and some inside of it. And as they went to clean up Yugi's new room, they also did do the other one, which was also some sort of storage room.

"I'm sorry Yugi", Ailhak said as she whiped the sweat of her forehead. Yugi looked at her, he himself was covered in dust and sweat, but he was happy he could help Ailhak. He hoped he paid her back for all she had done for him so far. He knew it wasn't really enough, but this was a start. Yugi smiled as she looked at him too.

"Sorry for what?", he asked softly and he continued making up his bed. Outside the sun was setting, it was late autumn and the sky was already darkening. Ailhak kept looking at him as she lay another pillow back on Yugi's bed.

"For making you helping me clean up the mess that is my home", she said softly as she looked around the room. True, she had needed the help anyway for she had been the mass-maker, but she felt guiltly for pulling Yugi into her cleaning.

"It's the least I can do. I mean… You take me into your home and you've bought new clothes for me. I have to pay you back and this is the start. And I don't mind cleaning up", Yugi said, still smiling. Ailhak looked at him and then gave him a hug.

"You don't need to pay me back. I wanted you in my house anyway", Ailhak said softly, but she didn't tell Yugi the whole truth. In fact: Kahlia had wanted Yugi in their house too, because the former Angel had felt pity for the small lover of her son. And Ailhak, being alone for most of the time had loved to have some company.

Yugi smiled as well and hugged Ailhak back. Sure, he felt sorry for his mother, but at the moment he couldn't see her. And he really needed that hug. Ailhak smiled too and then looked at Yugi.

"Shall I start diner? I'm not a great cook, but I can make pasta if you'd like", she said. Yugi nodded.

"Yes please. I'm kind of hungry now", Yugi said and as a prove, his stomach agreed. Both laughed as Yugi and Ailhak walked downstairs, leaving the clean rooms behind them.

That night Yugi lay in bed quietly. He didn't really remember when he had gone to bed, nor if he had fallen asleep. It was two in the morning and he couldn't sleep as he went to sit in his windowsill, pillows around him and blanket covering his form. He opened the window to gain a better look outside and he saw the beautiful stars as the dark clouds passed by. Silent tears fell down his cheeks as he thought about his mother. He missed her dearly as he also felt happiness deep within him. Happiness, because he had found Yami; his Black Rose.

He curled himself up, legs against his chest and the blanket thight around him. He curled up against the pillows as he closed the window again, leaving the chilly wind outside the house. Yugi fell asleep as he quietly cried.

--

Yami was no morning person, in fact, he hated mornings. Unlike Akunamkanon really, for the man had already called Yami three times that morning. His alarm was ringing just beside his head and even the melody of his phone went off. Yami groaned as he slammed his alarm off and answered his phone's wake-up call.

"Yami!! Come on now, breakfast is ready!!", Akunamkanon called upstairs for the fifth time now, but Yami tried to burry himself a little bit deeper inside his cocoon, which he made of his blanket. Trying to go back to sleep he was roughly awaked by Akunamkanon, who ruffled him through his hair and opened the curtains to let the rising sun inside Yami's bedroom. Once again, Yami groaned, but his father had no attention to that.

"Come on Yami. Or else I will turn the shower cold", Akunamkanon said. Yami sat up in bed, still half-asleep, looking at Akunamkanon.

"You wouldn't dare", he dared his father. Akunamkanon smirked as Yami ran to the bathroom, collecting his clothes on the way to it. Akunamkanon walked downstairs, making some more pancakes as he gently let warm water flow into the sink. He heard a loud yelp coming from upstairs and with another smirk he turned the water off. Minutes later, Yami sat down, washed and rudely awoken by a cold shower.

"I wouldn't dare?", Akunamkanon asked as he placed a plate with pancakes in front of Yami's face. Yami chuckled.

"Okay, maybe you do dare. But it wasn't fair", Yami said as he waited for Akunamkanon to sit down again, before starting breakfast quickly. Wolfing down the delicious pancakes, Akunamkanon couldn't help but think that Yami had watched Jonouchi eating too many times. His son was now eating as the blond, drinking and eating at the same time. As long as it went down his throat.

Done with breakfast, Yami made a jump towards his lunch, which he already had prepared last night, he gave Akunamkanon a kiss on the cheek and with a goodbye, the teenager was off before Akunamkanon could even respond. Yami ran over towards Ryou and Bakura, as soon as he had seen the two albino's.

"Goodmorning!", he said cheery and Bakura looked at him.

"What's with him?", he asked behind Yami's back, looking at Ryou. Ryou giggled and replied to Yami's answer, never answering Bakura's question. The three teens went to school, talking about where Yami had been and if he was okay. Yami sighed.

"Yes, yes, I'm fine", Yami said. Bakura patted the teen's shoulder.

"Now you know how I feel when Ryou's is concerned about me", the albino said and Yami looked at him. Then, with a smirk, he replied.

"Yes, but you don't mind… For then you have another excuse to stay in bed. With Ryou", Yami said. Ryou looked up at hearing his name and Bakura chuckled, blowing a soft kiss in Ryou's way. Then, he whispered in Yami's ear: "You're absolutly right".

At school, the three-some met up with Jonouchi and Seto. And also to them, Yami had to tell what he had been doing yesterday.

"I've been at the hospital. And yes, I'm fine now, just in love… that's all", Yami said as he sat down in the classroom. Bakura turned around in his chair and stared at Yami.

"Love? You?? I thought that the only person you would want to love is the one in your dreams", the albino said. Jonouchi too, stared at Yami and he saw the sweet smile that lingered on the crimson eyed teen's lips.

"True, but I met him. His name is Yugi, as you all know, and I met him yesterday", Yami said. The schoolbell rung and at the exact same moment the teacher walked in. All students rose up from their chair and bowed towards their teacher in curtesy, as were the rules. The lesson started, so nothing could be told anymore. Still, Yami did receive a small note from Seto: "Explain", it read and Yami chuckled softly.

Yugi smiled as he looked through the fence at his new school. It was a beautiful white building with blue colours and yellow colours as well. The tower was great and Yugi smiled as he heard the bell ring that was settle in the tower. He looked through the fence at the many students that were there and he tried to search for Yami. Ailhak had said that he should go and visit, while she was doing some more stuff to her home. Yugi had accepted the offer exitingly and now he stood here, while he couldn't find Yami.

Suddenly he noticed a whole in the fence and bit his lip. He knew trespassing was forbidden, but he really wanted to see Yami. He crawled through the whole as suddenly someone grabbed him from behind. Yugi jumped out of his skin, before calming down enough to turn around.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?", a voice asked. Yugi stared at the tanned teen in front of him and then noticed another, also crawling through the fence. The teen let go of his shoulder as Yugi still looked at them. Both teen's were tanned with sand-coloured hair. Their eyes were a purple colour, but shining in the midday sun. One's hair was spikier than Yugi's and Yugi hoped he hadn't let through his surprise of finding someone with spikier hair than his.

"I'm Yugi… I- I came to see Yami", Yugi whispered softly. He hoped that he didn't get Yami into trouble for this, but the sweeter looking teen curled an arm around Yugi's shoulder and pulled him up onto the green field.

"My name is Malik and you're lucky. We came to see Yami too, but… We have never seen you around before", the teen said. Yugi blushed.

"I only came here yesterday", Yugi said softly as Malik led him through the students towards a table that was not really far away. Suddenly, Yugi saw Yami and waved. Crimson eyes locked onto him and Yugi smiled as he saw Yami throw his backpack into the arms of a stunned blond and then run over to him.

"Yugi!", Yami called out and Yugi released himself out of Malik's grip as he was hugged by Yami. Yugi smiled, he had never been greeted like this before. Yugi hugged Yami back as the older teen softly nuzzled him.

"You act as if you haven't seen me in years", Yugi whispered soflty. Yami smiled.

"That is because I haven't. Come one, I want you to meet the Gang", Yami said as he led Yugi to the table where Malik and the other one had already sitten down. Yugi got to know them all, Malik and Marik. Bakura, Ryou and as last Jonouchi with Seto. Yugi smiled as he met the couples. He couldn't stop talking with Ryou about things, while Bakura held his albino lover savely in his arms. Seto and Jonouchi talked with Yami, while Marik was conversing with Bakura and Malik, trying to get into the chemistry lab.

The Gang eventually had to say goodbye to Yugi, Malik and Marik. For neither of them would want their school to be blown up. Yugi smiled as Yami gave him a soft peck on his cheek. Soft, quick and lovingly.

"I'll see you soon", Yami whispered as a goodbye and Yugi kissed him back.

"I'm sure you do", was the reply as Yugi left with Malik and Marik and Yami with the rest of the Gang. Back inside school.

Later that midday, Yami came home from school. It was raining outside and he was greeted by Akunamkanon, who took his wet stuff from him. Quickly he took a warm shower, to warm his cold limbs and then went downstairs to help his father with diner.

"Yugi came to school today", Yami said as he circled a spoon through the soup. Akunamkanon looked at Yami and smiled. He could feel his boy was in love. He could feel that everything that was happening now, needed to happen. And he loved it to see Yami smile, daydreaming a little bit as he kept circling the spoon. Akunamkanon lay a hand onto Yami's shoulder.

"I think the soup is done", Akunamkanon said and Yami snapped out of his musings. He laughed as he helped Akunamkanon with setting the table for two, as always. While talking and eating at the same time, and doing the dishes afterwards, Yami was happy. He felt happier than he had ever been in his whole life.

"Goodnight, my boy", Akunamkanon said as he saw Yami preparing for bed. His homework was finished and the teen looked up to greet Akunamkanon with a smile. They wished each other a good night with sweet dreams, before Akunamkanon left the room again, calling it a day as well. Yami lay down in bed, setting his alarmclock and the wake-up call on his phone, knowing he would need them in the morning.

Finally fast asleep, it didn't last long. A storm had started and Yami growled, crawling under the blankets. Before he was called almost fully awake and still sleepy he answered it. Growling softly at the one who had awoken him.

"Yami? I'm coming to your home! I need your help!!", Ryou's voice called through the phone. Yami, awake and alarmed, had a firmer grip on his phone as the thunder announced itself. He heard a yelp from Ryou through the phone as he called out Ryou's name.

"What's going on?", Yami said as he heard sudden banging on the door. Yami jumped out of bed and ran downstairs, phone still against his ear. He nearly fell down the stairs, but once he had unlocked the door he opened it, seeing Ryou. The albino was soaking wet, calling him and fearing something as Yami could read the fear in those chocolate brown eyes.

"Yami", Ryou murmured as the smaller teen dropped his phone and hugged Yami in fear, trying to hide and be safe.

"It's okay. Hush, Ryou, it's okay", Yami whispered as he laid his phone away, closed the door and hugged Ryou back. He lay his own head onto that of Ryou, trying to comfort him, as Ryou cried out his fears.

I hope you enjoyed chapter 7. My stomach-ache is killing me, so I'm off.
Next chapter: Yami thinks he's a Demon.

Oh, and I'm still trying to figure out the ending of this story. Maybe Heba comes back!!! :D
